<p>Recently I stumbled upon <a href="http://genew.ca/puzzle-261-261/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Gene Wirchenko&#8217;s Blog</a>, and he had s similar problem.</p>
<p>Here is a variation of his problem. Combine 2, 3 and 5 to make all the numbers 0-22. Use each of the three digit exactly once, but you are free to use addition, multiplication, division, subtraction, brackets, exponentiation and factorial as often as you like.<br />
For those of you who are not familiar with factorials a short reminder:<br />
0! = 1<br />
1! = 1<br />
2! = 2*1<br />
3! = 3*2*1<br />
4! = 4*3*2*1<br />
etc.</p>
<p> You can check your solution <a href="https://justpuzzles.wordpress.com/Solutions to puzzles 250-500/#413">here</a></p>
<p>New puzzles are published at least twice a month on Fridays. Solutions are added after several weeks.</p>
